Changing font size... not the icon
This was excellent with the RC version of win 7, I mean, it installed it all on its own, it was like it read my mind and knew that I was getting old and I was going to be happy with the font size.
Well, it all changed with the RYN version, I manually had to use the 125% dpi option, which worked well with the icon sizes but not so much with the font size withing the content window. The size is awesome on this site but not so much on others and/or the software I use... see example. I have also gone to the "Change Window Colors and Metrics" and sorted some other stuff but, I can't for the life of me, change the "Window Text" inside the "Active Window"... again, see image attached. My problem is that at my 46 yrs of age, my eyesight is not that bad, hence the problem I am having. I mean, I can see 20/20 for most everything but, fine print within 1 is when all hell breaks loose and my computer is within 1 & 2 so its a toss up Anyways, what else I can do? |

If changing the Display resolution isn't working (Control Panel - Appearance and Personalization - Display - Screen Resolution "Make text and other items larger or smaller") isn't doing it, Windows IE 8 has a tab in the lower right corner to jack up the resolution in the browser. For sites that have small text on parts of them, you can jump the resolution from 125% to 150, or better.
Here's another suggestion from Dwarf, in an earlier thread: "Try this. Click Tools and Internet Options. On the General tab, under Appearance, click Accessibility. In the Formatting section, click to check (place a tick) the option Ignore font sizes specified on webpages and then click OK twice." |
My System Specs |
07 Mar 2010 | #3 |
Just to give a little more detail on the first above excellent answer. If you use the customize option, you can increase the font size to your particular needs, rather than the preset 125% 130% and so on.

It isn't clear to me whether the issue is just with webpages or global with text in general. If the former is the case, then the best solution is to use a better browser, like Opera, which has the ability to individually select font size, type and weight of every text displayed by the browser, whether in it's GUI or webpages.

(H)asta La Vista,
Would using Ctrl and the + key to increase font size and using Ctrl and the - key to decrease font size when you are using your viewing a webpage be of assistance? |
My System Specs |
07 Mar 2010 | #9 |
Guys, as stated before, I have already used the 125% DPI option given on the Personalize your Icons and it worked well for the Icons but not so much for the text size.
I use Firefox as well as IE8 and even though they both offer options to increase text size, my main problem is with software like Outlook, etc,... the header font sizes are ok (as showned on my first image post) but the text size inside the Active windows text is very small (also as showned on my image). This text size is what I am looking to increase and unless I use a lower resolution, I can't seem to fix this. |
My System Specs |
07 Mar 2010 | #10 |
It has been too long since I used Outlook to be sure, but I imagine that it is set by the global Windows settings in Personalize>Window Color>Advanced Appearance Settings.

Believe it or not, it's been 10 years since Balenciaga's iconic—and oft-copied—lariat bag made its debut, dangling on the forearms of starlets and socialites galore. And to celebrate its first decade in predictably-high style, the label has released a special-edition lizard-embossed lambskin version. Surprisingly, the bag's only sold out in one color at the moment (an icy, greyish shade known as "Fer") but it's still available in navy and black—for now at least. To anyone with $1,245 burning a hole in her current pocketbook, pick yourself up a little birthday something.

Peaking Lights Catch a Wave in Surfer-Psych 'Beautiful Dub' Video
'Lucifer in Dub' is out now via Mexican Summer
There's a toddler in Los Angeles named Mikko who really likes dub reggae. Okay, "throbby bass dub stuff," to use father Aaron Coyes' exact words. Coyes and Indra Dunis, the married duo better known as Peaking Lights, pay sublimely serene tribute to their child on "Beautiful Son," the standout from this year's genre-mashing space-out Lucifer. Last week, label Mexican Summer released Lucifer in Dub, a reworking of the pair's night-themed 2012 LP that explores their dub proclivities still further. The new record's "Beautiful Son" update refracts and expands on the original, including the somewhat eerie addition of that old-fashioned sound of a phone that's been left off the hook. Peaking Lights' friend Mike Seely assembled the "Beautiful Dub" video in San Francisco using colorfully psychedelic surfer footage. The maternal warmth of the Lucifer version becomes more tacit here, but then it's not as if infants have any use for words, anyway. (Mikko has probably said a few by now. Starting with: "Needs more low-end," perhaps?)

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] IRAQ/US/AFGANISTAN/MIL - US spends 20 billion dollars a year on air conditioning its Iraq, Afghanistan bases

Washington , Tue, 28 Jun 2011ANI
Washington, June 28 (ANI): The US military spends nearly 20 billion
dollars a year just for air-conditioning its bases in Iraq and
Afghanistan, a retired senior officer has claimed.
Brigadier General Steve Anderson, who served as chief logistician to
General David Petraeus in Iraq, said that the American department of
defense (DOD) was shockingly inefficient in its energy use.
"In essence what we're doing is we're air conditioning the desert over
there in Afghanistan, Iraq and other places," the Telegraph quoted
Anderson, as saying.
Taking into account raw fuel, transport and security, "DOD will spend
about 20 billion dollars annually to air-condition tents and temporary
structures," he added.
Anderson said that the fuel used to power air conditioners in
Afghanistan's remote bases is shipped into Pakistan, before being
transported by land for more than two weeks.
It must cross 800 miles of roads, many little more than "improved goat
trails", and areas where insurgents will use roadside bombs to target
troops serving the US war effort, he said.
According to official government figures, the US has spent about 1.2
trillion dollars on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, though the true cost
is likely to be much greater, the paper said.
As Barack Obama announced last week that 33,000 US troops would leave
Afghanistan by the end of next summer, opponents pointed out that the war
was still costing ten billion dollars a month. (ANI)

My old fridge started dying. It would cool, but then shut down, so the new one came this morning. I spent much of yesterday cleaning out the old one. What a great feeling! I threw out so many things I'd been keeping "just in case" (like rice flour, dried coconut, capers that I bought for one stupid recipe).
I found meat in the back that was so freezer burned. It's all going in the garbage. So nice to start fresh! And with my new bottom freezer fridge, I'll be able to see all the fresh food so much better. Maybe no more green leftovers in the back! It got me motivated to go on to the rest of the house! |

What are great happenstance! Congratulations on your new bottom freezer fridge. By the way, how many cubic feet in the freezer and then in the fridge? Thanks! |
I love my bottom freezer fridge because it's much easier to see what I have in the fridge part and I do a lot less bending since I don't go into the freezer that often. It's fun to get something new, especially when it inspires us to get more organized in other parts of the house. |
I once had a flood in my basement when my clothes washer overflowed . Took me about four hours to drag everything out to the garbage. And that's what a lot of it was all along-just garbage. Brown paper bags I was saving, ratty old towels, stuff like that. The basement looked beautiful after I mopped up the water, and the lineoleum floor got washed in the process. |
Then there is my neighbor who will soon be selling her place w/ TWO freezers full of rotten food ..... she sez she just doesn't do nasty things, won't touch them ..... and the buyer can get rid of the freezers!!! DUH!!!!! I should also add that if anything spoils in refrigerator, like a casserole, the casserole DISH gets tossed, along a/ the offending rot! |

Here is a new begonia from the Home Depot landscape center. It is listed as a fern leaf begonia. It has very tiny leaves. It is in a five inch pot ($2.50). Hopefully it will bloom soon. Several of the pots had buds but the foilage was not as good as this one.

Hey, guys. It's Meredith, beauty editor at Seventeen and I am behind the scenes on our September issue photo shoot with world's famous makeup artist Bobbi Brown. She has a new book coming out called Beauty Rules. So what inspired you to write a second book for teens? I know you've done one before--
I realized how different girls are now. How they know more, they look older, they're more sophisticated and so I really thought it was an opportunity to just really update it. I think the most important thing for any teenage girl is to understand that she is beautiful and every young girl feels insecure about things. So it's about learning how to be comfortable and learning about your style. Being a teenager, you wanna try different things. You certainly wanna know how you can cover a dark circle, cover a blemish. Take it down a notch and just be comfortable with yourself.
So tell me what you did for Nicole here. How do you kind of capture this really pretty look that you only better?
So we used a very light moisturizer, a foundation that matches your skin exactly. The only way to find the right foundation is to make sure it blends in to the side of your face and then your forehead. A corrector concealer to lighten up under the eye, we use bronzer on her neck, a black gel eyeliner, a little bit of a goldy and sparkly shadow, just some nice clear lips. She has such beautiful color and that's really natural and it's not [unknown].
And then the last thing I want to ask you about is her cheeks. It just looks like totally lip from within.
You wouldn't even know she's wearing blush. Well, to find an extra color blush, you can either pinch your cheeks. It does work or you could use a blush. I like to brighten--
So let's talk about what you did on Casey?
Foundation concealer, a really pretty Peony blush with a little bit of shimmer on top, little bit of a highlight, a cream highlight and I really love the eyes, cool tones of white, lavender and black violet. Really pretty, little smoky, really broader eyes and three colors of mascara and glitter lip gloss.

Da Sweet Blood of Jesus: Spike Lee Finds Originality in a Remake
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 27, 2015 | Be the First To CommentIn 1973, the production company Kelly-Jordan Enterprises sought to fund a group of relatively inexpensive features, one being a blaxploitation vampire film in an attempt to reproduce the success of the previous year's Blacula. When playwright Bill Gunn was initially pitched the idea, he balked, but later grew intrigued by the potential for using vampirism as a metaphor for addiction. Gunn's film, Ganja & Hess, bore a uniquely elegiac dream structure, with its hypnotic images, arthouse sensibility, and cyclical music cues resembling something worlds away from William Marshall's broadly comic take on Dracula. Concerned with themes of desire, self-destruction, and the tensions between cultural history and assimilation, Gunn created an image of black vampirism that refused to be a novelty or gimmick, manifested in a style of filmmaking that rejected token categorization. Baffled, the production company didn't know what to do with Gunn's film despite its positive reception at Cannes. Kelly-Jordan sold Ganja & Hess to a smaller distributor who cut it by more than half an hour, advertised its sex scenes, and rescored/redubbed its audio track until finally releasing the film on the grindhouse circuit under the title Blood Couple. The original cut was restored twenty-five years later through a combination of prints, and with new restorations, upgrades, and repertory screenings since, Gunn's film has slowly gained a reputation as a truly singular work of African American filmmaking. Spike Lee's remake, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, is a manifest tribute to a still-underseen film – another important "upgrade" that serves […]
7 Directors Who Completely Changed Their Style
Cinematic Listology By Monika Bartyzel on November 6, 2014 | Be the First To Comment"I think we have to get beyond the idea that we have to categorize people," Roger Ebert once said. It is an idea that is no more felt than in the realm of cinema and celebrity, where our compulsion to categorize merges with the worst of typecasting and image-making. The minute a person excels at something they are defined by it, so much so that any and all departures become shocking diversions rather than relatable human actions. It doesn't make sense to be shocked (we all have diverse interests that don't fit into one neat mold), but we are, time and time again. Generally, it defines our actors as talents are typecast into one very specific sort of role that either makes us forget all that came before (like Christopher Walken being a trained song and dance man before a creepy villain), or keeps them narrowly cast until someone dares to showcase their other talents (like the countless comedians who shock people when they offer stellar dramatic work). It also happens with directors. If they dare to slip into a certain visual style or approach, we expect every film to follow suit. It can be downright shocking if they diverge from their norm, no matter how many times it happens, and no matter how many times we acknowledge how much Hollywood requires someone to manufacture an image rather than just be themselves. We forget the fact that image is what gets money, and sometimes style is the only thing that gets […]
25 Years Later, 'Do The Right Thing' Still Feels Unfortunately Fresh
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on June 30, 2014 | Be the First To Comment"Heroes, as far as I could then see, were white, and not merely because of the movies but because of the land in which I lived, of which movies were simply a reflection: I despised and feared those heroes because they did take vengeance into their own hands. They thought that vengeance was theirs to take. This difficult coin did not cease to spin. It had neither heads not tails: for what white people took into their hands could scarcely be called vengeance, it was something less and something more." In his autobiographical essay on movies and American racism, "The Devil Finds Work," James Baldwin discusses at length the absence of black subjectivity and the prominence of white heroism in the milieu of classical Hollywood in which he came of age. At one point in the essay, Baldwin states that he has seen no black persons that he knows in the movies. He does not mean that he has never seen black faces onscreen, but rather that he has never seen a black protagonist whose experiences honestly reflect his position, neither the "debasement" of Stephin Fetchit nor Sidney Poitier's role in The Heat of the Night, the latter of which Baldwin refers to as conveying, yet refusing to confront, "the anguish of people trapped in a legend." That legend forbade black characters from achieving anything resembling the vengeance that white characters so regularly found on American screens. While published thirteen years before the movie's release, Baldwin's reflections on American cinema are essential […]

'Oldboy' Review: Spike Lee Turns the Spectacular Into Spectacle In Reductive Remake
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on November 27, 2013 | Comments (4)Few people would ever accuse Park Chan-wook's Oldboy of being subtle cinema, but Spike Lee's remake of the 2003 feature smashes any lingering vestiges of the restrained right into the ground with a bloody, looming hammer. Strangely enough, the opening credits of Oldboy provide some insight into the feature itself – this is "a Spike Lee film," not "a Spike Lee joint," and it's "based on the Korean film," not "based on Park Chan-wook's film" or "based on Garon Tsuchiya's manga." This is not a unique feature and even its own director isn't interested in putting his signature touch on it. As with Chan-wook's film, Oldboy centers on a seemingly regular man who is abducted, thrown into a prison-like hotel room for two decades, and framed for the heinous murder of his ex-wife. Josh Brolin is effective enough in the role, and he's got the fiery anger and unswerving drive element of his character down pat. Emotions not fueled by rage and revenge aren't quite his forte, at least here, but those don't really come into play into further down the line. For the first act of the film, he's just about perfect. Brolin's Joe Doucett is a flabby, drunk loser who thinks that a smooth-talking attitude will help him succeed at work (it won't) and just yelling about things to his beleaguered ex-wife will get her to shut up (it also won't). He's unsympathetic, but he certainly doesn't deserve his punishment (or, well, does he?).
'Oldboy' Screenwriter Mark Protosevich on Remaking a Movie No One In His Town Had Heard Of
Features By Jack Giroux on November 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentFor many years now a potential remake of Park Chan-wook's Oldboy has been striking fear into the hearts of fans. No matter the level of talent involved, scoffs were heard loud and clear around the Internet. Why remake such a recent classic? Probably because, outside of cinephiles, it's not exactly well known. But that's beside the point. Even when Steven Spielberg flirted with the project, fan interest remained low, which is a shame because when Spielberg really likes to get cruel as a filmmaker, it's pretty spectacular. Like Justin Lin and others, Spielberg eventually moved on, as did one-time potential star Will Smith. However, someone who stayed with the project through the years is screenwriter/co-producer Mark Protosevich. Protosevich, who scripted The Cell and chunks of I Am Legend, has always been a serious cheerleader for this remake. I say remake, because, despite what Spike Lee and others tell you, Oldboy is definitely a remake, not a reinterpretation. There's nothing wrong with that, and Protosevich, he doesn't treat "remake" as a dirty word either.
To watch Spike Lee's feature narrative films is to only understand a fraction of his career as director. If you count his documentaries, Spike Lee has, when next week's Oldboy remake hits screens, helmed 32 features in the 27 years since She's Gotta Have It. And that doesn't even include the numerous shorts, music videos, commercials, and TV pilots he's directed. Of all the things that are misunderstood about Spike Lee, his largely under-recognized and uniquely prolific output of work might be chief among them. As both public figure and producer of culture, Lee has meant many things to many audiences: co-pioneer of the 1980s American independent film renaissance, restless observer of popular culture, connoisseur of African-American popular music, firebrand provocateur, native new Yorker, and brand name. He has also helped define and expand the possibilities for contemporary African-American filmmakers inside and outside Hollywood. It's difficult to imagine what American cinema of the past quarter century would look like without Spike. So here's some free advice (for fans and filmmakers alike) from the man behind every Spike Lee joint.
The New 'RoboCop' and 'Oldboy' Trailers Reveal a Bias in the Way We Welcome Remakes
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 7, 2013 | Comments (10)Seeing as we're pretty deep into the golden age of remakes at this point, it should probably come as no surprise that we've got a handful of big movies that have already been big movies readying themselves for release in the near future. That Hollywood currently loves remakes is clear, but what's also becoming clear is that the way we respond to them is a little bit complicated and a little bit hypocritical. Announce that a movie a lot of people love is getting remade and the response is almost always an outcry of outrage and disgust. Actually release the same movie in theaters and enough of those outraged, disgusted people still go to see it anyway, which keeps the remake train rolling. A couple of trailers for high profile remakes that got released today shine a light on the fact that our response to all of these remakes has been a little bit more nuanced and a little bit more complicated than an initial abhorrence and then an eventual acceptance though. A new trailer for director José Padilha's RoboCop has been released, which shows it to be a legit attempt to update the material from Paul Verhoeven's original, yet it has been met online with almost universal contempt. On the other side of the coin, a new trailer for Spike Lee's Oldboy has also been released, and even though it seems to be a pretty straight and unnecessary retelling of Park Chan-wook's 2003 film, movie fans have welcomed it […]
Michael K. Williams to Glower Menacingly in Newest Hottest Spike Lee Kickstarter Joint
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on August 21, 2013 | Comments (1)Spike Lee's Kickstarter for The Newest Hottest Spike Lee Joint (here's hoping he announces a real title soon and I can stop typing out all that word salad) ended just a few hours ago, more than $150,00 over its $1.25m goal. But even before the Kickstarter ended, Lee was hard at work assembling a cast for his crowd-funded feature. First came Stephen Tyrone Williams, a stage actor with a handful of film credits to his name (Children of God, Restless City), but a few hours later came a far more famous Williams. Michael K. Williams of The Wire and Boardwalk Empire has joined the film too. This casting alone guarantees that hordes of obsessive Wire fans will turn up to see Lee's latest joint, which will be a love story about "human beings who are addicted to blood." Williams (Michael K., that is) will not be playing the lead- that role will go to the other Williams (Stephen Tyrone), with Zaraah Abrahams as the female lead. But lead role or not, any mention of The Wire's Williams is enough to put plenty of butts (mine included) in seats.
New 'Oldboy' Images Feature Josh Brolin In a Staring Contest With an Octopus
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on August 16, 2013 | Comments (1)It's been a mere two days since we last received new Oldboy pics, but images from Spike Lee's latest joint just keep pouring in. Collider's gotten their hands on four new ones, including a tease of one of the original film's gooiest, grossest moments. A lot of this we've either seen before, like the hallway hammer fight (which was glimpsed in the trailer) or Josh Brolin's character holding a Chinese take-out carton (which presumably will take the place of the original's dumplings). Brolin staring longingly into an octopus, however, is brand new stuff. Chan-wook Park's original Oldboy infamously saw its lead actor consume a live octopus in a sushi bar. The octopus was both real and really alive (before being crammed unceremoniously down Min-sik Choi's throat), and four octopi had to sacrifice their lives to nail the right take. There's no word yet whether Brolin will committing his own act of mollusk genocide or if Lee has some plan to reinvent the now-notorious sequence. Perhaps this image is all we'll get on the subject; with the Korean delicacy being offered but Brolin's character tongue-in-cheekily turning it down. Keep reading to see three more pics.
'Oldboy' Stills: Josh Brolin Sports an Impressive Beard, Bursts From a Steamer Trunk
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on August 14, 2013 | Be the First To CommentSpike Lee's remake of Oldboy, Chan-wook Park's 2003 story of a man imprisoned in a hotel room for 20 years for no rhyme or reason and then suddenly released for just the same, is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year. While the red-band trailer gave us all of the gore and revenge fantasy imagery our greasy little hearts could desire, these new stills released from the film, courtesy of Huffington Post, are offering us something a bit more subtle to work with, albeit still powerful. The first shot of Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin) emerging from his classy steamer trunk to fresh air and freedom for the first time in 20 years is incredibly powerful. He looks tiny, like a doll inside of a suitcase forgotten in that field. This image of Brolin bursting from the casket used on the poster, but it's his more revenge-happy, confident persona leaping out, rather than crawling that they decided to depict. Two other images show Brolin's character while he's still being held captive in Hotel Hell, sporting some Castaway-level facial hair. The fourth still introuduces our heroine Elizabeth Olsen, who plays the young therapist who attempts to help Doucett cope with his situation post-captivity. She deserves that cigarette mightily. Check them out after the break.
Spike Lee Explains Why He's Keeping You in the Dark About His New Movie While Asking For Your Money
Features By Jack Giroux on July 29, 2013 | Comments (3)From the start of his career to the height of it, Spike Lee has never had an easy time getting projects off the ground. In some cases it's because he was ahead of the curve — like when he had hopes to make a Jackie Robinson biopic, but the financing never came together because studios didn't feel there was an audience for a black baseball film. This year, 42 would beg to disagree. Of course even though it appears like an order form for free money, the Kickstarter funding route isn't easy either. For established filmmakers it takes a combination of thick skin for backlash and vulnerability to ask fans for money that studios and financiers won't give. Within a few months time, Lee will have taken the trust fall of asking the public to fund a movie for which he's given very few details and then debuted a high-profile (yet non-mainstream) reinterpretation about proper hammer usage. Facing the contradictions head-on, we spoke to the filmmaker about this new, same-as-the-old chapter in his career:
The Best Stories of the Week, July 27
Reject Recap By Christopher Campbell on July 27, 2013 | Comments (1)The Reject Recap is back following a week off for the takeover of Comic-Con coverage. Of course, now that Comic-Con coverage is the main focus of the latest review of Hollywood's biggest news and FSR's greatest original content. Fortunately and unfortunately, some other notable announcements came out in the past seven days that had nothing to do with San Diego's fanboy event. For instance, we lost actor Dennis Farina. Also, we pretty much lost all possibility of a Freddie Mercury/Queen movie. Meanwhile, we considered new directions (for better or worse) of such iconic characters as Wolverine, Rocky Balboa and Spike Lee. And we've been having panic attacks just from watching a few clips from one of the most anticipated films out later this year. As always, we've rounded up the most significant bits of what everyone's been talking about — or should have been talking about — over the past week. There was the announcement of the latest Toronto International Film Festival slate (with its Oscar-coveting titles), the release of a new Woody Allen movie and, yes, the excitement over possibly seeing Batman and Superman kick the crap out of each other. Here's your chance to get caught up so you're not clueless at all of tonight's parties. Because you know there's likely to be some discussion of The Act of Killing and its representation of violence. Or there should be, and now you'll be able to bring it up and be the life of the occasion. Start your weekend […]
Spike Lee's Latest Film Is Now a Kickstarter Joint
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on July 22, 2013 | Be the First To CommentRiding high off the publicity for his Oldboy remake, Spike Lee is now the latest celebrity to hit Kickstarter with an impassioned plea for why you should give him lots of money. On his official Kickstarter page, Lee speaks about the current climate for independent film; what could pass as a budget when he was first breaking into the business is now just a drop in a very, very large bucket. He offers up his entire filmography as a body of work as proof that this Kickstarter is a legitimate filmmaking venture, and offers a handful of details about the film's plot. Lee's hypothetical latest film will chronicle people who are addicted to blood the way others are addicted to drugs or sex (although he promises the film will still have plenty of sex). The $1.25m goal may seem drastically steep, but keep in mind that stranger things have happened. This spring saw the Veronica Mars movie bank over $5m, while Zach Braff's Garden State follow-up pulled in just over $3m. And a scant few hours into the Kickstarter has already netted Lee close to $12,000 – presumably that number will rise dramatically as the news starts to spread.
Broken Projector: San Diego Comic-Conquest 2013
Broken Projector By Scott Beggs on July 19, 2013 | Be the First To CommentDid you hear that this weekend is Comic-Con? It's true! It's weird that no one told you. Fortunately, this week's show features a visit to San Diego where our sentinels Robert Fure and Jack Giroux will tell us all the crazy stuff that's happening on the ground there in geek paradise (which happens to be a hotel room that's missing a bathroom door). Plus, Geoff and I disagree wildly in our reviews of the new season of The Newsroom, and we prepare for the possibility of Spike Lee's retirement by discussing his legacy and forcing him to autograph old football paraphernalia. You can follow Robert Fure (@robertfure), interviewer Jack Giroux (@jackgi), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) for more fun stuff on a daily basis.

'Oldboy' Trailer: Josh Brolin Picks Up the Hammer For Spike Lee
Movie News By Jack Giroux on July 10, 2013 | Comments (1)Ever since it went into development , the question of, "Why remake Oldboy?" has floated around like dumbfounded wildfire. Even when Steven Spielberg became involved, fans remained unconvinced in the need or desire for a new take on Chan-wook Park's revenge film. Spike Lee's name won over some fans, and why wouldn't it? Lee is a director whose work is inherently American. If anyone can bend that material enough to breathe in some seedy American streets, it's going to be the filmmaker behind 25th Hour and Do the Right Thing. Whether the film will feature some sort of commentary is up in the air, but one thing is for sure based on the first red band trailer for the film, this looks like Lee's most focused film in years:
First 'Oldboy' Poster Lets Josh Brolin Out of the Box
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 8, 2013 | Comments (3)Brimming with impenetrability, the first poster for Spike Lee's take on Oldboy features Josh Brolin dressed as Neo, making his escape from a steamer trunk in the middle of a field while Elizabeth Olsen (or Sharlto Copley with shaved legs) stands poignantly facing the other way. Its premiere is a preamble to a trailer release which will most likely happen this week (*cough*Wednesday*cough*) — so we'll finally get to see how Lee and screenwriter Mark Protosevich plan to tell the story (and how much hammer-wielding takes place). While you wait, stare at this until the yellow umbrella dissolves into symbolism or you go cross-eyed.
Spike Lee's 'Oldboy' Gets a First Poster Twenty Years In the Making
Movie News By Rob Hunter on April 15, 2013 | Comments (2)Director Spike Lee's upcoming Oldboy is viewed as a remake of Park Chan-wook's brilliant 2003 film, but in reality it's a new adaptation of the original source material, a graphic novel by Nobuaki Minegishi. The story remains the same, though. A man (Josh Brolin) is kidnapped and imprisoned for twenty years with no clue as to his captor's motive or identity. He's inexplicably released one day and given a limited amount of time to discover the answers to all of his questions, but he may not like what he finds. In fact, he most definitely won't like what he finds. Oldboy co-stars Sharlto Copley and Elizabeth Olsen and hits theaters on October 11th. [Press Release]
Quit Criticizing Things You Haven't Seen (Especially You, Spike Lee)
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on December 24, 2012 | Comments (26)If there's one thing Spike Lee is known for, it's complaining about racism. Turns out he's also a sometimes movie director, which I hadn't realized, what with him being mostly in the news for being an asshole or calling Clint Eastwood a racist. This time he has his sights set on Quentin Tarantino and the upcoming Django Unchained. Lee blew up Twitter (or at least my Twitter), criticizing the film and his perception that it makes light of slavery and uses it for laughs and entertainment rather than being Amistad 2. Lee said the film was "disrespectful to his ancestors" and called slavery a holocaust via Twitter. His exact words: "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them." Wow, seeing Django Unchained must have really gotten under Lee's skin – or I guess it would have, if he had actually seen it. Yeah, Spike's diatribe against the film comes from his perception of it, not him having, you know, actually seen it.

Guan Tianlang completes 72 holes without a three-putt in memorable Masters debut
Last Updated: 14/04/13 7:56pm
Guan Tianlang: Tired after a memorable week at Augusta
Guan Tianlang capped a historic week at the Masters with a creditable three-over 75 in the company of 1988 champion Sandy Lyle.
The 14-year-old sensation became the youngest player in Augusta history to make the halfway cut despite being controversially penalised a shot for slow play in the second round.
"It's not easy to play here and make the cut and be the low amateur and I think I did a pretty good job."
Guan Tianlang
Qualifying for the weekend earned him a trip to the Butler Cabin as leading amateur, and he completed 72 holes without a single three-putt or double-bogey.
He bogeyed three of the first six holes in his final round and dropped another shot at 11 before making birdie at the 13th - his first since the 18th hole on Thursday.
The Chinese schoolboy also converted a fine tee-shot to the 16th before giving the shot back at the next as he closed on 12 over par.
Not easy
"It's not easy to play here and make the cut and be the low amateur and I think I did a pretty good job," said Guan holed out to a rousing reception on the 18th green. "The whole week was great for me.
"I'm a little bit tired. Still a lot of things to improve. Short game is good, but could still get better and my driving has to get a little bit longer. Yes, everything needs to improve."
Guan will now attempt to qualify for the US Open and the Open Championship, but he will not be rushing into turning professional.
He added: "I haven't decided yet, but it won't be too early as a lot of things need to improve. Nothing to rush."

Loved the pencil - but the gel is unecessary IMO, I feel like I'm getting half the pencil I could be getting because of this, just a bit gimmicky for me Revlon! would be tempted to buy again however as the pencil performed very well and gave a polished but natural look.
Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Grabbed this one on sale last week just to give it a try!
WOW! Well done Revlon!
I now absolutely love this product, and wear it daily!
Applies easily and actually stays on ALL day!
The gel is a great idea, however does dry slightly lighter on the eyebrow.
Doesnt leave your brows feeling gluggy (which is always good!)
Very satisfied with this product! :)

I love the idea of this product; unfortunately, the results were not quite what I was hoping for. The formula of the pencil isn't bad - the color was a bit too light for my dark brows, but it stayed on all day. The gel, however, was disappointing - I loved how it looked right after I applied it, but later in the day when I looked in the mirror, I realized that the gel had dried to a much lighter color. I looked like I had applied white cream to my brows - not attractive. I decided not to return this product because I bought it during a BOGO sale and I do like the pencil, but I will not use the gel, and I will not repurchase when the pencil runs out.

My biggest complaint is that the pencil end is too short, after sharpening a few times its almost gone, and the cap falls off in your purse, I do like the brow mascara side. Overall, an ok product. My search continues for a good brow pencil...

I bought this product mostly to use the brow gel, but the brow gel is mediocre, I think the problem is with the brush, it is very small and long so it is difficult to apply. The pencil is great, the color matches perfectly and lasts all day, very easy to get a natural polished look. The pencil color is a good match for my dark brown hair, packaging is okay nothing to complain about, except sometimes the pencil plastic cap doesn't stay on well

I really like the pencil end but it's too expensive for way too little product. It has a great color for Asians though, especially if you colored tour hair dark brown. Looks natural and stays all day. The gel is okay, nothing special. I'd rather they just do a regular pencil. So many better eyebrow pencils, will not be repurchasing.

I was looking for a colored brow gel (which seems to be hard to find in a drugstore product) so I bought this. As it turns out, I really like the pencil too. There's nothing fancy about it, it's not too hard, not too soft, it fills in my brows nicely, it stays put and doesn't smudge. The gel is very light. I don't have super unruly brows, and it holds them in place just fine. I'm honestly not sure if it would be great if your brows need a lot of taming. I bought this one and the next lighter one. The lighter one is closer to my natural color, so I use that for more natural looks. I use this one when I do bolder eye looks. This pencil does lean slightly reddish, so if you don't want that, you probably shouldn't pick this one up. I've already repurchased both of them, so it's a favorite!

A Little expensive but it works great. Im a dark blonde and this one matches without getting awkward looking. Just be careful not to apply too much gel as it can get to an unnatural brown. Love that it's two in one, too, as it does all you need.

It's a bit pricey for my taste but I love how it makes my brows look so defined (especially with the gel).

Love this. Defining my brows alone change up my whole face and makes my eyes just stand out. This matches my eyebrows perfectly(even though my hair is yellow-blonde, my eyebrows are dark brown). I use the gel more than the pencil, because it goes on more natural-looking(I can be a bit heavy handed with the pencil, though it is a good pencil). The packaging is fine, but I took two lippies off because the cap for the pencil broke and falls off a lot, which is really annoying.

I have Unity, KDE (Kubuntu), and Gnome installed in 13.10. All three show up in the drop down when I go to switch users/login; KDE Plasma Workspace is the default option. I've tried lightdm, gdm, and kdm display managers. No matter what I do or how I select the desired desktop environment, my system always, always, always boots into Unity. (It did boot into KDE once and only once. After that I've never been able to get back into KDE.) I've tried everything that I could find in AskUbuntu except for some, like the ones that to tab to a nonexistent OK button in the drop down list of environments.
I've tried removing and reinstalling KDE. I've tried changing display managers. I've tried doing a full restart as opposed to switching users.
Does anyone have any idea how I can switch to a different desktop environment, other than Unity, without ditching my current installation totally and completely reinstalling Ubuntu?
